you are truly a role model in this sense for us tuners as we grow up (or =
listen
to too much loud R&R) and lose our ears. I've always felt that it's
ridiculous in today's day and age for any hearing loss to cause poor =
tuning,
between aids and electronic tuners. You also are answering my question - =
whether
it's the tuner or humidity causing that drastic of a difference.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey Guys & Gals,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why are you casting dispersions on us =
olde farts,
regarding the treble tuning, (and some bass!)? Many times, I follow my =
own
tunings and the treble is higher than were I put it! (YES, I keep =
records of
how I tune my pianos! AND, I use my trusty SATII, always for the =
extreme
treble, because I can't tune it as well aurally!) For those who know =
me, I
have hearing aids. I can hear the frequencies up there, thanks to =
those aids.
However, aids will give you weird stuff, from time to time. (Oft-times =
due to
a low battery or a lot of other physical stuff, that I don't care to =
discuss,
right now.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Humidity changes, GREATLY affect the =
upper
treble. Sometimes, more than you think it should. Why? Don't have a =
clue! It
just does. Of course, there are those olde farts, that have a HUGE ego =
thing
going, regarding their tunings and they refuse to do anything about =
it. Those
clowns deserve a HUGE SLAP up'side their damned heads!! I've followed =
YOUNG
tuners that tune WAYYYY too sharp for my taste. And, screwed up Bass =
tuning as
well, from them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If any of you think that you are not =
hearing
things as well as you'd like....GET YOUR DAMNED EARS CHECKED!!!!! AT =
LEAST
ONCE A YEAR!!!!!! NO DAMNED EXCUSES!!!! WE DO MAKE OUR LIVING =
WITH OUR
EARS!!!! GET IT??????? </FONT></DIV>
